Abstract

Background: Coping self-efficacy can help individuals mitigate the adverse emotional impacts of stress, anxiety, and other negative emotions, and it also influences individuals’ academic performance, including school adjustment and academic burnout. It is an important factor affecting the mental health of adolescents. However, there is no measurement tool specifically designed for adolescent populations in China. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assess the applicability of the Coping Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES) among Chinese adolescents. Methods: In September 2023, this study collected data through online questionnaires and ultimately conducted item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), measurement invariance analysis, reliability analysis, and criterion-related validity analysis on a sample of 1157 adolescents. Results: The results of item analysis showed that the items of CSES were significantly different between the high and low groups. Further factor analysis results showed the existence of a factor solution that explained 59.09% of the total variation, with factor loadings ranging from 0.52–0.78. CFA supported the three-factor model of Chinese adolescent version of the CSES (CFI = 0.923, TLI = 0.914, IFI = 0.923, RMSEA = 0.068). Measurement invariance analysis indicates that the scale satisfies gender measurement invariance (ΔCFI = −0.002, −0.001 > −0.01, ΔRMSEA = −0.001, 0 < 0.02, ΔSRMR = 0.005, 0.007 < 0.01). The Chinese adolescent version of the CSES was positively correlated with the Social Support Appraisal Scale (SS-A) and the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R, r = 0.670, 0.673, both p < 0.01), and negatively correlated with the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Adolescent Student Burnout Inventory (ASBI, r = −0.694, −0.233, −0.680, both p < 0.01). The Cronbach’s α, McDonald’s ω, split-half reliability and test-retest reliability of the Chinese adolescent version of the CSES were 0.953, 0.955, 0.933 and 0.894, respectively. Conclusion: The results indicate that the three-factor model of the Chinese adolescent version of the CSES is acceptable and demonstrates high reliability and validity, establishing it as a precise tool for measuring and assessing coping self-efficacy among Chinese adolescents.
